Community Tasting Notes 6

• Soteriologist Likes this wine: 92 points

  October 6, 2018 - Tartrate crystals on the cork. An impressively spacey quince on both nose and palate, unripe honey dew melon, a tiny amount of lactic notes and also some herbal notes or hay, hardly any diesel. Very fruity, but dry and mineral, great purity and balance ! Full bodied and probably long lived - I killed a baby. I think one notch better due to the Lage-specificity than the general Kallstadter Riesling Kabinett, and this logically forces a 92, but if herbal notes in a Riesling put you off, that one would probably suit you better. I should add a note of caution: Koehler-Ruprecht overall really seems to hit my soft spot, so this rating includes 1 – 2 points for personal enthusiasm.

  March 17, 2018 - The 2011 Saumagen Kabinett shows a terrific mix of exotic fruit, honey, and minerality with a clear focus on the latter. Drinking very well now and should do so over the next 5+ years.

  April 20, 2017 - Looking back on this I think I liked it, but it just took a little while for me to realize it. The bitter/spicy nature of it due to the notes of ginger mixed with honeydew melon threw me for a loop. I think it has its place, though I wouldn't buy it again.
